Q My 12-year old daughter wants to use a deodorant. Do you know of anything that is suitable for her?

A Interestingly, there have recently been products launched specifically for this age group. Some years ago, stay-at-home dad Sam Farmer went off to buy his kids their first teen personal care products.

‘Having seen the rows of products, with pink, pouty, submissive packaging aimed at my daughter and steel grey, macho stuff intended for my son, I left determined to do something about it.’

So…Sam went back to school, studied cosmetic science and formulated a unisex range of skincare products, specifically for adolescents, starting with a gentle but effective Deodorant, £4/50ml. (It’s good for grown-ups too.)

He added a Face Wash, Moisturiser, Body Wash, Shampoo and Conditioner, all at great prices. Plus there’s an award-winning SAM FARMER Travel Pack, £20 (no deo in that though). You can order products from the website, www.samfarmer.co/shop or call 01884 821 380.

Again, it’s unisex and designed for younger, sensitive skins, from age eight and up. Fresh Kidz by Keep It Kind Deodorant, £2.99 at boots.com.

Feeling stressed? Yes, well, which of us doesn’t, at least at some point every darned day?

According to NEOM, who commissioned a Lifestyle Stress Audit to coincide with the launch of their new massage candle, 91% of those of us who work are stressed – and 86% of non-working women, which results in feeling tired, unhappy or unable to sleep.

Beyond that, it’s a genuine well-being concern: the World Health Organisation estimates that by 2020, the top four diseases will be stress-related.
